They had those for MR2s also (first gen, maybe SC'd only). But didn't have big center caps like that. Nice pickup.

no go on the spare, think i gave it out when I upgraded brakes since it wouldn't clear 'em anymore.

I sorta like 'em more without the center caps

last one i found was in dade city.i was a little spoiled,i worked at a shop that specialized in old pontiacs and had a modified 66 tempest so i could get most anything i needed for next to nothing.honda parts seem to be pricier and tougher to find,especially for the sol.good luck with the rex...
